They did the same with Obama. Blamed him for an economy that he inherited from Bush. Then when Trump came around he boasted about how great the economy was… you know, the one he inherited from Obama.
Every time. Take credit on the way in, cast blame on the way out.
Why wouldn’t they? Their voters know it’s bullshit but don’t WANT a stable country.
That’s why it annoys me any time someone suggests friendship and/or centrism with conservatives. They literally don’t care about the truth, even what words mean. There is no “reasonable” discussion to be had; half of their opinions are literally because of belief in the supernatural, and the other half is Dunning-Kruger economics.
“But studies show the best way to deprogram them is to talk to them” the worst people you interact with regularly online say, ignoring that the studies are talking about in person interactions and that we can’t all be deprogramming all the time. Some of us would just like to exist from time to time.
I’m curious about these studies. Were they looking at which way works best given a single person and infinite time, or which way works best given finite time and a large group? Was it specific to American conservatives?
Because if they don’t care what words mean, then I think the better approach is to attack their social status as a group. Shine a light on what they are, make them embarrassed. Let them lose friends. “You can’t reason someone out of a belief they weren’t reasoned into.”
It’s quite the opposite in many cases. Their voters have no clue about what is going on in most cases. The only thing they know is what they hear from their politicians on their “news” channels or from memes on Facebook.
Unlike them, I get my memes from Lemmy.
Their voters have absolutely no idea its bullshit. They literally have no idea what’s going on. If you watch the right wing propaganda for even a day, not a single piece of real information will be presented. It’s just garbage.
When something significant does happen or come to light, they’ll spend the day discussing something irrelevant and distracting like Hunter Biden.
Exact same thing this time around. Covid happened, Trump bumbled it and also Congress gave away 950 billion mainly to people who didn’t need it, Fed lowered interest rates to zero… so Biden inherited rampant inflation and massive home price increases, and according to Conservatives, it’s the ‘Biden economy’. Of course they can never name anything they think Biden did to cause it.
i still blame everything on obama, especially if he had no part in it at all.
i burned my toast… thanks obama
My favorite is the people who’ve said, on camera, ‘Where was Obama on 9/11? Why wasn’t he in the White House doing anything?’
Modern US conservatives are a special breed of stubborn stupidity.

hell yes we are
This page is disgustingly complicated and has an uncomfortable amount of motion on it. Could you share less nauseating links in the future?
Recently I had a request to post a gif somewhere, and gifhy was the only thing that I knew was mostly legit. I tried directly uploading, but it didn’t want to work.
Is there a better place, you’d recommend, to direct people to for gif uploads?
A more direct link to the gif would have helped. https://media.giphy.com/media/xUPOqyLjA17P3HAR32/200.gif
That’s a difficult question honestly, as you’d want the host to be able to fund itself in a way that’s tax efficient or otherwise incentivized (like not showing ads or using trackers in exchange for donations).
A solution popular in recent times on Lemmy is https://catbox.moe/ and I have probably been using it before Lemmy was even created, as it is referenced by the Pomf Clones and File Hosting Comparisons document which was created in 2018.
At the very least, https://imgur.com/ has a less crowded interface and surely makes enough money from ads and trackers to be sustainable in the medium term.
Thanks OBiden
O’Biden, three to beam up!
I thought it was Obama’s fault? I thought everything was Obama’s fault.
Its quite literally Obama’s fault 45 looked so good. Obama’s presidency is responsible for starting the largest/longest bull run in the history of the stock market, which 45 ended due to utterly fumbling the pandemic, but can now blame Biden for since he has to deal with all the economic fallout from 45’s term in office. While all 45 had to deal with was a humming economy he still ran into the ground. Not saying what Obama did for the economy was good for the country, just that it was good for what is considered ‘economic health’ by the majority of the US population.
What’s 45 beside being a number?
trump was the 45th US president
Oh, so nothing good
I know this is an honest question (that someone answered) but it sounds like a riddle or a joke lol.
I mean… if the economy was better she could have ordered delivery.
we do the same with reagan and trump in fairness. no matter whos the president theyll be shite cause both parties are owned

Expect they mean hunter biden and his God forsaken laptop
I love when pretentious Liberals think their party doesn’t have any morons in it lol. You prove Dunning/Kruger’s theory on a daily basis lol.
From a European view, they are all just rich and want to keep people poor. And both your parties are conservative, one just slightly more liberal.
They’ll never get this.
We literally had a post on the home page yesterday that was this exact thing but with Reagan lmao we’re no better
